But all of a sudden, at about 1am, there was pandemonium, people were running in different directions, there were shouts, screams and booming of gunfire, and parents couldn’t wait to pick their wailing children as they dashed for the bush, running for dear lives.
“We are mourning today at Iyemero, we are not happy about this incident and the government must do something about it”, the source said. Oba Ogungbemi said the victims confirmed to him that herders who had been having a running battle with the farmers perpetrated the dastardly act. The Monarch said about 60 of the villagers have been displaced and “they were here in my palace till Wednesday before they left”.

Fayemi added that his government was ready to pay the hospital bill of the victims in order to relieve them of the burden.“We sympathise with you, because lives of Ekiti people are precious to us in this government.
